In Depth | Jupiter – NASA Solar System Exploration
One day on Jupiter takes only about 10 hours (the time it takes for Jupiter to rotate or spin around once), and Jupiter makes a complete orbit around the Sun (a year in Jovian time) in about 12 Earth years (4,333 Earth days).

10 Need-to-Know Things About Jupiter - NASA Solar System …
Jupiter orbits about 484 million miles (778 million kilometers) or 5.2 Astronomical Units (AU) from our Sun (Earth is one AU from the Sun).
In Depth | Saturn – NASA Solar System Exploration
It is enveloped by liquid metallic hydrogen inside a layer of liquid hydrogen –similar to Jupiter's core but considerably smaller. It's hard to imagine, but Saturn is the only planet in our solar system with an average density that is less than water.
In Depth | Europa – NASA Solar System Exploration
Europa orbits Jupiter every 3.5 days and is locked by gravity to Jupiter, so the same hemisphere of the moon always faces the planet. Jupiter takes about 4,333 Earth days (or about 12 Earth years) to orbit the Sun (a Jovian year).
In Depth | Neptune – NASA Solar System Exploration
Neptune is our solar system's windiest world. Despite its great distance and low energy input from the Sun, Neptune's winds can be three times stronger than Jupiter's and nine times stronger than Earth's. These winds whip clouds of frozen methane across the planet at speeds of more than 1,200 miles per hour (2,000 kilometers per hour).
In Depth | Asteroids - NASA Solar System Exploration
Most of this ancient space rubble can be found orbiting our Sun between Mars and Jupiter within the main asteroid belt. Asteroids range in size from Vesta – the largest at about 329 miles (530 kilometers) in diameter – to bodies that are less than 33 feet (10 meters) across.
In Depth | Haumea – NASA Solar System Exploration
The other known dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt are Pluto, Eris, and Makemake (dwarf planet Ceres is located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter). Haumea is roughly the same size as Pluto. It is one of the fastest rotating large objects in our solar system.
Europa By the Numbers – NASA Solar System Exploration
2024年11月20日 · Europa is one of the largest of Jupiter’s more than 90 moons. It's the sixth-closest moon to the planet.
